Big Ben truly earns its name with the recent rebuild to include 30 features - 7 boxes, 8 jumps, 12 rails, wall ride & 2 tanks.

Thats great. But when will supertrail and the 13ft halfpipe we were promised be open?
ReplyDeleteWhen I heard that Stratton would be building a 13ft halfpipe instead of the superpipe this season I thought that would be a good thing because the superpipe took all season to make and I figured a smaller 13 footer would come on-line much sooner. Boy was I wrong, Its now early February, Mount Snow and Okemo have both had their 18 ft pipes up for a week or more and yet Stratton hasn't even started building the pile of snow for their smaller pipe. Your message to the boarding community has been received loud and year. This is last year my boarding family is buying passes to Statton - you've successfully lost our business.
ReplyDeleteStratton is building the pipe on Suntanner for their makeshift US Open that doesnt include skiers. It should be up by president's week
ReplyDeleteHappy to report that the halfpipe build on Suntanner is starting today! Your points are well-made, and I will get them to the Parks Crew.
ReplyDeletewhen will the pipe be up and ready to ride?????
ReplyDeleteThis is a message to Stratton - if Eric and his ilk do not come back because you didn't build a pipe soon enough - next year don't build one at all and maybe even less snowboarders will show up. That would make it much more enjoyable to all of the skiers.
